Boot lock barrel

Has anyone an idea how to remove the boot lock barrel witout using a large drill? I don't want to damage the chrome bit because I am thinking of putting a rear view camera in the "lock bit" of an old lock I have (although I might spray the chrome black, same as the car). The small camera I've got would be a perfect fit, I'm fitting remote locking so the lock on the car will have to be removed I expect for the motor (EBay) to fit.

Thanks in advance

There is a large spring clip holding it to the boot.

IIRC there is a screw on the inside end holding it all together.

Hi,
On this lock there is no screw!

Then it is just the clip that needs to be removed. The spring of the clip holds the lock in position.
